Justices lift stay order upheld yesterday by panel

The Supreme Court cleared the way last night for Steven Oken to be put to death by lethal injection, lifting a federal court order upheld hours earlier that would have indefinitely delayed the convicted killer's execution. Barring another legal maneuver by Oken's attorneys or a grant of clemency from Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., Oken may be executed before midnight tomorrow.
